Thank God this hack didn’t make it to SCOTUS.

AG Garland Weaponizes FBI Against Parents Protesting Critical Race Theory, Mask Mandates

AG Garland has told the FBI and US Attorneys’ Offices to meet and “strategize” on ways to deal with parents who have the nerve to protest critical race theory. Actually, they want to figure out how to deal with parents who have the nerve to be involved in their child’s education.

How dare they!

The DOJ said: “Citing an increase in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school board members, teachers and workers in our nation’s public schools, today Attorney General Merrick B. Garland directed the FBI and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices to meet in the next 30 days with federal, state, Tribal, territorial and local law enforcement leaders to discuss strategies for addressing this disturbing trend. These sessions will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment and response by law enforcement.”

The “task force” includes everything except the kitchen sink:

  • Criminal Division
  • National Security Division
  • Civil Rights Division
  • Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys
  • FBI
  • Community Relations service
  • Office of Justice Programs

The federal government is involving the Criminal Division and National Security Division to handle those pesky parents.

The press release and Garland’s memo do not mention a single specific threat. They also did not give examples of harassment or intimidation.

Last Friday, Jeff Reynolds wrote about the National School Boards Association (NSBA) asking for federal intervention because of the protests against critical race theory. They cried about the “immediate threat” posed by so many parents showing up at school board meetings.

The association described the protests as a “form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”

Jeff is 100% correct in his closing paragraph:

The school board and superintendent organizations calling for federal law enforcement appear to be preemptively playing victim here instead of responding to a legitimate threat. Of course, this follows with the Biden administration’s focus on white supremacists as the single greatest terrorist threat the United States faces today. An overblown fear of domestic terrorists makes for a great diversion from the parents across the nation with legitimate questions about what their kids learn at these schools. The NSBA seems to have forgotten that, as elected officials, school board members are not supposed to be the bosses–the parents are.

Rowdy parents. Garland is weaponizing the FBI against “rowdy parents” without providing any proof. Arguments about their child’s education are harassment and intimidation? Are there any legit threats?

Even if your child doesn’t go to public schools or you don’t have children you must get involved with the local school district. Do not forget your tax money pays for these schools. You have every right to be involved.

Unless you dissent. Didn’t a patron saint of the left once say dissent is the ultimate form of patriotism?
